At the session of the House this evening.
Mr. Donnelly from the committee appoint
ed to investigate the charges of bribery sub
mitted his report together with the evil
dence. The report developed, what has al
ready been stated in these letters, that the
accusation grew out of a talk between two
Hennepin county members, Mr.. Cloutiei
being the party who had told Mr.. McArdle
that $3.50. could be secured by voting
against one bill and $3.50, more by voting
for another. The evidence shows that
Cloutier claims that his talk was merely in
Jest and both parties deny that there was
any absolute money offered or &C
cepted. Captain Snyder of the Henne-
pin county delegation defended Cloutier
quite warmly, claiming that his repnta ton
was good and the whole report was laid on
the table, with only a portion of the. testi-
mony being read. This probably ends the
matter: The general appropriation bill
passed the House as reported from the COM
mlttee Wlttoutc change and will undoubtedly
go through the Senate in the same manner.
Il y has as been very deliberately considered in
the finance committee. of both houses and
consequently but little opportunity is left
Tor making any change. The bill for
graded license in the Senate was moved
along tt, the order for third reading to-day
anu VIII PROBABLY come to square
vote tomorrow. The Senate remained
in session. until nearly Z p. M, and
cleared its desk Of work but the House held
q lengthy evening session and is badly be-
hind at that. The House passed the bill
requiring persons desiring to commence
libel suits against newspapers to bring
them within six months after the offensive
publication. A,further effort was made in
{ the Senate to pass the resolutions already
adopted by the House, 4expunging the I'M
parchment record against Judge Cox but,
on the gfonnd that it might allow him to
draw a salary for the unexpired portion Of
bus term the matter was sen to thesEiudic-
larry committee, It's final passage is pos
slble but the dilatory ork makes it rather
doubtful. The krain and warehouse
committees of the Senate introduced
quite an elaborate bill for the grading and
handling. OF grain andiconlpelIing railroads
to furnish cars for its Transportation This is
bill that was defeated two years ago and
the late hourin which it was presented in
this session indicates that it is probable It
will be defeated again. But six DAYS more
OF the session remain and only five Of them
can be used in passing bills and the conse-
quencc is that the bulk of bills that become
laws viii be passed very hastily and a very
large number will be lost entirely for lack
Of time when otherwise they might be
passed.

Il Mrs. Roxana Druse, was hung, in the
Jail yard at Herkimer, N. Y, at II :4S a.. M,
Monday Feb.2s, for the murder of her hus-
band in 1875. The execution was witnessed
by only twenty-five persons and though the
day was a bitter one and overland travei
tedious in the extreme the town was
thrOnged with men, women and children,
who saw nothing and heard but little Mrs
Druse slept but little during the last night
and for the most part was calm and cheer
aful in her demeanor, and during the night
partook OF a hearty meal and wrote two
letters, with all possible elaboration, adj
dressed to the sheriff, one thanking him for
his uniform Kindness, the second giving her
body to Rev. G. w. Powell, her spir t,lal adj:
II she be permitted christian burial. Dur
ing Sunday she made confession to Mr.
Powell, which assumes that her daughter,
undergoing life sentence for complicity,5
had no agencyin the deed, and assuming that
the deed was proposed to her by her brother
ln-laW Gates, who she SAYS assisted her in
the awful work All she said however was
inconsistent with the history OF the crime,
and she expressed no regret at what she:
revealed as her part of the deed, showing
only anxiety to relieve her daughter from
the stain OF the crime, and declaring that
she had no part in killing her father or in;
disposing Of his body. Mrs. Druse weighed
i213 pounds and the surgeons reported that
her neck was not broken, hut death enslled
from strangulatioil and her end was more
merclful than that of her victim. After the
execution the. remains were placed in a
casket and taken to Oak Hill cemetery and
deposited in the vault, Rev. Mr. Powell pre-

This wonderful remedy has fairly attained
a worldwide reputation. III you have dull
